Luyện nói tiếng Anh bằng Shadowing qua video: i spent 48 hours cleaning my apartment

Hey guys, it's Syd.

Please don't take offense to this, but I do not want to film this video because I don't want to clean, okay?

What happened?

I don't know.

When my room or my apartment gets messy, I have this weird mentality that if it's already messy, what's the harm in continuing to add to the mess?

This is bad.

Don't do this.

I was trying to like get motivated.

So I was watching YouTube videos of like people cleaning their room

and I was like why don't I make my own video it holds me accountable you know

and maybe it will inspire you guys I can see behind

you guys I know it's a mess behind there I don't really want to show the before to be honest

welcome back to my kitchen the thing that is most urgent in here is really to organize my cabinets

there's no rhyme or reason to this.

Everything is kind of just scattered.

Like even the spice cabinet is looking pretty rough as you can clearly see.

And same with my fridge.

So I'm going to go through clean, organize.

The question is what do I put on while I clean?

I'm thinking Drake's new album.

i wish it was as easy as i'm making it look

right now unfortunately this is sped up i think times 30 this whole process took me two hours is

that like is that embarrassing i don't know i will say i don't know

if it's like something about turning 25 or what's changed

but i really enjoyed organizing my pantry i don't know something about it was

so satisfying but amidst my organizing i did get a text from my grandpa

which stopped me in my tracks

because he texted me a picture of a girl in a

newspaper saying does she somewhat look like an older version of you mid 30s age

and it was a picture of demi lovato

so this kind of caught me off guard i responded wait what

and then he said well of course she doesn't have your ever-present smile

and then proceeded to send me another photo of her wikipedia

in all of my years of living i have never once been told

that i look like demi lovato

so basically the entire time i was cleaning i was just contemplating do i look like demi Lovato.

Does my grandpa know me better than anyone else

and that's why no one has said this or do I absolutely nothing like her?

I do love Demi Lovato and Camp Rock.

Then I decided to assemble a little snack basket.

This is not ordinarily a routine for me

but my family was coming to visit and I just wanted to put together a little quick easy snack basket for them.

Guys I messed up.

It's the next day.

Yesterday after I finished my kitchen which took two and a half hours I took the night off And seriously, like I'm actually done with myself.

Like this needs to end now.

I already know this is going to be quite the journey in here because I have laundry, I have deep cleaning, I have organizing so many layers of things to be done.

I just want to make this a little bit fun for myself you know what

that means i'm really

predictable i feel like we need a

little game plan what makes the most sense i think is to start with stripping my bed

and doing my laundry i have guys literally so much laundry.

This thing is filled to the brim.

I have been putting off clearly doing this and I also need to wash my sheets.

It takes a little bit of time

so obviously I figure I should start there and then clean the rest of my room while my laundry is going.

This is a good plan.

laundry room.

So unfortunately it

does look 10 times worse and not better.

I also think I broke a record.

The fact that I have five loads of laundry going right now.

It feels like a luxury to me to be able to have multiple loads going at the same time, even though they're not my laundry machines.

They're communal.

The next thing I'm going to do is just go through my room and pick up just like a general cleanup.

I need to get rid of some piles.

Let's start.

I've been listening to the new Drake album while I've been cleaning which has made this so much more enjoyable.

I'm starting to feel a little bit better because I'm seeing visual progress.

It's what I really needed to motivate me.

I just got a notification that my five loads of laundry are done

So i'm gonna go move them from the washer to the dryer

So that washing machine is out of order my clothes are literally in a river Oh,

no, oh, no, you know, I guess I was bound for one of the five washers

to go wrong It was just too good to be true I did have to call management.

They had to put a wet floor sign out.

It was a whole thing because the whole floor was like flooded with water.

Anyways, I had to rewash that load, put the rest in the dryer.

I don't have any pet peeves, but one of them is when people don't clean the lint filter after doing their laundry.

Maybe that's just me.

It's not common knowledge, but I have been putting this desk off for about six months.

Every single time I open these drawers to do my makeup it reminds me

that i need to organize it in my mind i was saving this until i filmed this video

so i just it was like an excuse for me to put it off

because i was like i'm gonna film it i'm gonna film it

and now here we are i have no excuse i definitely

have some like old dried up makeup in here I have some things that I should probably toss.

Sometimes I forget there's like an actual expiration date for makeup.

So I'm just going to go through all this.

This is what it looks like currently.

I'm going to time myself and hopefully I can do this in like 15 minutes

because it's more fun when I set a timer for some reason in my head. so the

thing is this probably seems like it's not taking that long

because you're watching a condensed version but i can't believe

that i thought that that could take me 15 minutes i'm so delusional It took me like an hour.

I have this problem where I always underestimate how long something's

gonna take me Maybe it's like me being a little bit arrogant thinking

that I can do more than I can

and now I'm gonna make my bed I think it's universally like accepted at this point

100

that the worst chore of all time is putting your fitted

101

sheet on your bed There is just like absolutely nothing worse than that.

102

So For some unfortunate reason,

103

my headboard attracts so much dust.

104

I don't know if you can really see what I'm talking about.

105

Just trust me, it's there.

106

Anyways, a little hack that I discovered, not really a hack.

107

I just use this lint roller every once in a while

108

when I'm kind of like doing a deep clean and just go over the whole headboard.

109

A lint roller can really be used for more than just clothes,

110

guys a good lint roller is essential this was just from like 20 of the bed i've covered

111

Okay, update.

112

It is looking so much better in here.

113

Knowing that I get to sleep in this bed tonight with fresh sheets is making me so excited.

114

Like, I just want to go to bed right now.

115

Oh my gosh.

116

I think I have about half of my closet in laundry to fold.

117

While the sun is setting, I thought this would be a perfect time to not only fold this giant pile of clothes, but also do a little advice sesh.

118

Whenever I see like a request and I like it, I'll screenshot it.

119

So I have a little folder in my phone now.

120

Hey Sid, I was in a three-year relationship and we broke up six months ago.

121

I'm still struggling to move on completely.

122

I know there's no way we can get back together with each other.

123

It's hard because of all the amazing memories we shared and it was a beautiful relationship.

124

Can you give me advice on how to move on?

125

Going through a breakup is like one of the worst things ever.

126

I remember when I've gone through like a couple periods like this, I felt probably the most alone I've ever felt.

127

And I think what's helped me the most in the past is, first of all, time.

128

So cliche, but really time does heal.

129

And also realizing that what you're probably really holding onto more than the person is the memories that you guys shared, which is normal.

130

And I think nowadays people try to like convince themselves

131

that they need to get over a breakup in a certain amount of time Like I see on tiktok.

132

There's all these like time frames like how to get over your ex in like two weeks

133

And that's just like not how it works.

134

You can't put a time frame on it To be honest

135

six months is still pretty fresh for a three-year relationship I think something that's really helped me too is

136

that some people really are only meant to be in your life for a season

137

And once they serve their purpose that season ends It's one of those things that in the moment it's so hard, but then once you're on the other side Maybe a few

138

months maybe a few years later You always look back or at least from my experience.

139

I always look back and i'm like so grateful that that happened

140

And for me personally a lot of my faith has really

141

played a role in like dealing with situations like this

142

because Praying and reading my bible during those times are honestly like what brought me A lot of peace.

143

I would say the one thing is don't go insane trying

144

yourself to like force yourself to not think about it

145

because the second you try to not think about your ex and the breakup, you're gonna start thinking about it 10 times more.

146

I would just try to fill up your time with things that you enjoy.

147

Your friends obviously are huge, I think, in times like this.

148

And just like let each day pass.

149

Don't put pressure on like your healing timeline.

150

Suddenly like weeks pass and months pass and then one day you'll wake up

151

and go through the day and realize you went through like a whole day without thinking about them at all.

152

Every single relationship serves a purpose, whether you realize it in the moment or not.

153

Always learn something that kind of prepares you for the next person that you're meant to be with.

154

And hopefully that's forever.

155

When certain things ended and I was maybe upset about it, I look back and I am like so, so thankful that they ended.

156

Not out of spite or anything, but just seeing how my life has evolved and how things played out and who I'm with now,

157

like none of that would have happened if I would have still been with the person I was with before.

158

Personally, I think everything happens for a reason.

159

I feel like god really knows what's best for you

160

and it's hard to see it in the moment And I just trust that he knows what's best for me.

161

Anyways, I wish I could give you a big hug Go get some ice cream right now

162

because you just do it go get like a little sweet treat I have

163

so much more laundry to fold help All right

164

That was the last step in cleaning my apartment I put all my clothes back.

165

The feeling you get when you deep clean is like the most stress relieving thing.

166

Going to bed that night, I felt so good.

167

And this was definitely needed.

168

And so it was an outro, but I forgot to do it.

169

Thanks for watching.

170

Love you guys.

171

And I'll see you in my next video.

172

Bye.

Phương Pháp Shadowing Là Gì?

Shadowing là kỹ thuật học ngôn ngữ có cơ sở khoa học, ban đầu được phát triển cho chương trình đào tạo phiên dịch viên chuyên nghiệp và được phổ biến rộng rãi bởi nhà đa ngôn ngữ học Dr. Alexander Arguelles. Nguyên lý cốt lõi đơn giản nhưng cực kỳ hiệu quả: bạn nghe tiếng Anh của người bản xứ và lặp lại to ngay lập tức — như một "cái bóng" (shadow) đuổi theo người nói với độ trễ chỉ 1–2 giây. Khác với luyện ngữ pháp hay học từ vựng bị động, Shadowing buộc não bộ và cơ miệng phải đồng thời xử lý và tái tạo ngôn ngữ thực tế. Các nghiên cứu khoa học xác nhận phương pháp này cải thiện đáng kể phát âm, ngữ điệu, nhịp điệu, nối âm, kỹ năng nghe và độ lưu loát khi nói — đặc biệt hiệu quả cho người luyện IELTS Speaking và muốn giao tiếp tiếng Anh tự nhiên như người bản ngữ.
